USA ‘09 – ODDS AND SODS

The following are some photos that didn’t make it into the one of the daily posts but I still thought were worth putting up.

The villa we stayed in is owned by a British couple who have kindly provided two clocks to show the time in the US and the UK, as seen above. Unfortunately when this picture was taken the time was actually 1 o’clock and the time difference is five hours. New batteries please!

Poor Herbie is feeling a little cut up about his part in Lights, Motors, Action! In a crowd pleasing turn Herbie comes on while the stage is being set for the next stunt sequence. As part of this Herbie drives around and then is told “don’t go down that tunnel”. Guess what! The cheeky little car goes down the tunnel and emerges split in two.

At home I may have to occasionally stop the car for a slow pigeon or possibly a cat (although I’m not that bothered about stopping for cats) but I have never had to stop to allow a turtle to cross the road before. Why did the turtle cross the road?

Apparently Sean, SNP member for the Bahamas, received his knighthood from “Britian’s Elizabeth, Queen”. So reads the plaque in the Burger King on International Drive but then that is the same establishment that contains this tribute to Bill Haley that the boys found so amusing.
